Tasty, healthy sauerkraut (sour cabbage) made its first appearance in China approximately 2,000 years ago, and is suspected to have spread to Europe by Genghis Khan. Kraut is very high in vitamin C, iron, calcium, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin, phosphorus, beneficial bacteria, and fiber. Cruciferous veggies (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, dark leafy greens, turnips, etc.) have been shown to help fight colon cancer.

If you haven't yet taken advantage of the wonderful world of fermenting, sauerkraut is a great way to start as it is one of the easiest ferments to make. It only requires two ingredients: cabbage and salt. You can, of course, add in other ingredients to suit your tastes, but if you want pure, unadulterated sauerkraut, then just stick to those two ingredients and you won’t be disappointed.
